There is no change to the
Fuelperks
program, which provides a 20-cent-per-gallon discount on fuel purchased at Giant Eagle
GetGo gas stations for every $50 spent on qualifying items at its grocery stores.

Until next week, customers will continue to earn grocery discounts by scanning their
Giant Eagle Advantage cards at GetGo filling stations before they pump their gas. Foodperk
rewards can be redeemed up to May 31, Giant Eagle said in a statement.

The trouble is, most customers haven't been using their Foodperks discounts, perhaps
because the program is hard to understand, said Rob Borella, senior director of corporate
communications, in a statement.

“In fact, approximately 92 percent of Giant Eagle Advantage Card customers saved less than $40
each from Foodperks! in the preceding 12 months," Borella said.

So today, Giant Eagle added the option of getting 3 cents a gallon off on GetGo
gas when customers do not redeem Fuelperks rewards. So customers now can
use EITHER the 3-cent-a-gallon discount OR their Fuelperks rewards at GetGo gas
pumps.

Giant Eagle began sending letters to customers late last week alerting
them to the change. Apparently, some customers took the letters the wrong way. "The
company offered its apology to any customers who may have been offended or misinterpreted the
language used in the notification letters," Giant Eagle said in a statement.
